Maybe this is what you meant:
I was in my late teens, I think. I had a friend who played quitar, but never finished a song he started learning. So I decided to learn to play organ, but finish every song I started learning. Bought an organ, took lessons for about 3-1/2 years. Was doing very well, but hit a wall in my playing. My philosophy then was: If at 1st you don't succeed then try try, then give-up. Down and out for the count of 25years!!!
I started going to a Pentecostal church, the contemporary christian music was so inspiring, I wanted to play music again. Purchased my 1st arranger keyboard, and was wondering where would I be now if I would have continued. Oh well. My new philosophy is to never give up.
